You've got to be kidding, right? Explain to me why Ford NEVER issued a recall on its Explorer even though it had a KNOWN design defect that was killing people and they kept the defect there for twelve years? Even the original Explorer engineer told Ford the cars were unsafe.

The domestic manufacturers only issue recalls after the lawyers get involved. And they have ALWAYS been like this.

We have had GM junk with major issues they are known for, and GM wouldn't recall or deal with it.
